Apparently the defibrillator is fine (the defib pack itself still has a green disc showing). However, it is the case that is FLASHING - probably because it is a bit hot (honestly). It has a max - min temperature range programmed into it on installation.

THE PUBLIC CONVENIENCES
The drain in the Gents' Toilet is blocking regularly due to scale build up. Aquablast HAS now descaled so it should be fixed.

New Parish Councillors
The good news is that the council is now at full strength. Your council is now in a much better position to represent the village and its residents as the workload will be spread between nine councillors rather than three. Please welcome your new councillors when next you see them and thank them for stepping forward.
